Queen of Katwe Page #2

---

You are not staying with him,

are you, night?

Mother stayed with a man.

In a few years, so shall you.

No, no, no. Not me.

Night...

Do you think god wants

bad fortune for us?

Why would you say this?

Because since papa and Juliet

passed away...

It seems he is angry with us.

I don't think

god cares about us,

one way or the other.

Bye, my sister.

Ivan, when you fetch water

for your mother...

Do you just go

any time of the day?

Or do you think a bit first?

I think a bit.

About what?

There are long lines

for water in the morning,

so I plan when I will go.

Ah! A plan.

And I cannot arrive

too late because

I could get robbed

on the way home.

So, on my way,

I cut through the valley

to save time.

And what happens

when the rain comes?

The waters come down the hill.

And do you get washed away?

No, I climb in my hammock.

Your hammock! Good plan.

Threats from many directions.

Robbers.

Angry property owners.

Floods.

And other dangers.

How can this bishop survive?

Coach, no way.

Eh, eh, eh. Look.

Look at it closely.

F-3?

Yes, f-3.

He is safe there.

Yes. In today's game...

Bishop is safe on f-3.

When you first looked

at this position...

Perhaps you thought there was

no safe haven for bishop.

But, you looked closely.

You analyzed the threats.

You made a plan.

And bishop found safety, eh?

Use your minds.

Follow your plans.

And you will all find

safe squares.

Me, teacher!

Me, teacher! Me, teacher!

Nearly two million years ago...

East Africans were the first

to master the use of fire.

So, were we the first

to eat kikomando?

Hey.

Hey.

The beautiful

Mrs. Katende.

Hello.

Some days ago, this girl, Phiona,

came for the first time.

She was not clean.

Ivan and the boys

teased her very badly.

Ivan is not

Mr. clean himself.

So? Did she run home?

No. She stayed.

She came back all cleaned up.

She is stubborn.

Sounds like someone I know.

Hi.

Oh!

She needs new clothes.

I can get some from my sister.

This ministry salary

is not enough for us, eh?

It is okay for now.

I did not come first

in my university

for my wife to pay the rent.

It is not okay.

She must have more certainty

than I did as a child.

She doesn't live

in the bush, Robert.

There is no war now.

Dig, dig, dig.

Digging to plant.

Digging to eat.

Digging graves.

She must never have to

dig as I did.

Checkmate.

How'd you do that?

You will never beat me, sister.

Mmm-hmm.

East African sewerage

company. Good morning.

Who is your family?

Would I know them?

I lost them at a young age, sir.

Ah, sorry.

Nevertheless,

you had the highest grades

in your it class.

You are highly qualified.

And honest, it seems.
